Cool Kid - On This Date ...

Hello Whimsy Fans, Iris here! Today I like to show you a birthday card using Cool Kid from the Kenny K collection.  This card was also published in the January Mini Issue of the Whimsy Inspirational Magazine.
I colored this cute guy with my Copic's and the sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs 'Everyday Circle Postmarks' . The DP is from Simple Stories called Happy Days. The picking circles are Spellbinders Nestabilitie's and everything else is from my stash.


Please don't forget to stop by later today for our big Febraury Rubber Release!

Happiness is in the Little Things

Hi Everyone! Niki here. Are you ready for the new release? So many cute new images! Before inking up some of the new stamps, I had to ink up another one of the images from the last release that I hadn’t had a chance to play with yet.
IMG_9830
I used the beautiful Bird Swing image from Sylvia Zet’s Wee Stamps line. Sylvia has such a way with illustrating. Her images are just beautiful. I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored it with copic markers. I used these marker colors: YG61, YG63, YG67, E31, E33, E35, B12, B14, B16, B32, B34, B37, YR20, YR23, YR24, YR30, YR31, R24, R27, R46, E19, colorless blender. I used some patterned paper from the October Afternoon 5 & Dime paper pad.
I sponged some antique linen distress ink around my image while it was in the oval nestability die. I also sponged some antique linen and around the edges of my patterned papers, sentiment, and cream card base. I used a sentiment from the Magical Mini Letter Seals stamp set. I added some stitching and crocheted lace. I colored some pearls with a red copic marker to match my red accents. Then, I finished my card off with some paper roses.
Have a great week!
Niki

Valerie's Spring Rain

Hi Whimsy Fans and thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are enjoying your day and will find some time to create something too!

It's my turn (Ellie) to post to the Whimsy Inspirations blog today, and I decided to show you a recent card I made using a little older Whimsy Stamp from the Crissy Armstrong Collection.

Photobucket

The adorable stamp is called "Valerie's Spring Rain".

It has been colored using derwent coloursoft pencils and baby oil. It's another one of my simpler creations, which I really enjoy creating at the moment.

I embellished with some flourishes from Whimsy's Vines Shapeology die, added a button with some twine, a layered prima flower and of course the beautiful ticket sentiment from Whimsy's Everyday Postage Stamp Sentiments, which was cut out using Whimsy's mini postage die.

Here is a quick look at all the Whimsy products used. All the links are above.





Thank you so much for visiting the Whimsy blog today. Be sure to check back soon for another fabulous Whimsy Creation. And just a reminder if you haven't seen the January mini magazine, be sure to do so, it is once again filled with amazing samples by the Designers.
